If you are a diehard Patti Page fan who has to have everything Patti has recorded you will undoubtedly want this. But be aware all else who look at this CD that these are not the original Mercury/Columbia hits which sold millions. These are remakes done in the 70s which copy the original arrangements. They are ok if you are not familiar with the originals. If you treasure the originals you may not especially like these. These recordings are also supposed to be in STEREO but do not sound like stereo to me. If you are new to Patti Page and want to become familiar with her music this is not the place to start....rather try THE PATTI PAGE COLLECTION,VOL.I, GOLDEN HITS or GOLDEN GREATS.

This is a wonderful album. The songs are still as good today as when I first heard them. Beautiful voice, good music. It wore well with time.

I couldn't listen to the old Mercury originals--some of the remakes on Columbia eg "With my eyes wide open..." were better. Although this 1970's remake lack the youthful immocence of the originals they more than make up in sophistication--just what I want. But don't bother with even later remakes, after Patti is over the hill!

This played a crummy alternate version of Hush Hush....that gave me heartburn in more ways than one.
